Yep you definitely get the orange belt from the DB dojo.

There were three key things that happened last night that you should jot down mentally:
1) You told her you were not a mindreader which she actually listened to by clarifying about the foot rub.
2) She initiated the spending time together and not you. And you would have been fine either way if she didn't.
3) You were doing things that made YOU happy and not her.

Great job!

I wouldn't worry about an OM in the picture. Your W has been very good at telling you what she's doing and doing what you've asked her. When my W was going through the OM stage, she was secretive, defensive and quick to anger like she was just looking for a fight.

But your W has been very transparent which is why we all believe that you have a great shot at saving your M.

Keep it up!
